So right now, globally Helldivers 2 is #6 for Regular Edition and #8 for Deluxe edition.
Pretty much what it was yesterday minus Deluxe Edition climbing a little as things like Granblue and Enshrouded have really slowed down in terms of sales numbers per 24h/1h.


Suck it Palworld.
Why are all these free games on the top seller list?

The free games have all received an update contain new cosmetics either yesterday or today.
CS2 has a new patch
PUBG has new special drops
Apex Legends has something but also the new Season is coming Feb 13rd
And Yu-Gi-Oh is having some card packs sales for its 2nd anniversary.

The game realistically could've been 2nd or 3rd right now if not for that unfortunate timing. But usually these new updates see strong revenue for the first 24/48 hours, as everyone spends their money on the new stuff.

Because that's what steam is all about, kids using their parents pc to play free games.

That and Asia is fairly F2P centric and they make a large chunk of PC gaming in terms of raw numbers.

Seeing people on twitter argue that Sony should do day and date with PC for all of their releases because of something like Helldivers. Just sounds like PC diehards wanting everyone else to sacrifice their platform just to feed theirs.

Sony should 100 percent do day and date once xbox gets rid of their consoles. If they do that, The Sony guys will still buy their consoles and pc sales get a big boost because of pc day and date. everyone wins

They should do day and date because there's no point in having multiple platforms anymore. PC just is gaming now. Whether you play PC games on a TV with a controller, handheld, desk with mouse, laptop, VR, or streaming, is up to you. It's the closest thing to a neutral playing field. Valve have proven extremely capable of solving the hassles associated with PC. It's one big library that goes back to the CD-ROM era, and gets better over time. It's available everywhere in the world.

Playstation should make a living room PC for gaming.

Steamdb is the same as the global official steam list, they use the API.

If folks are confused, this is how it goes.

There's: https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/global
This is the official which lets see Global and then you can even look at the top 29 markets on Steam
There's:https://store.steampowered.com/search/?os=win&filter=topsellers
This is the one where you see your local store, because it is only "Top Sellers"

You can see this easily because if you add global in front of "topsellers" in your URL
Here: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?filter=globaltopsellers
Persona really cratered, it's number 22 after 4 days. Relink is still top 10.

Number 8 on SteamDB.

That's an absolutely terrible idea that only benefits pc fanboys at everyone else's expense. lmao

I don't care much about day and date single player games. A year later is fine. It's a new game for me anyway. They should improve their port selection though.

How does doing day and date on pc effect Sony gamers? If Xbox is out of the console game.🤔
Having to support so many different hardware configurations will cause them to deprioritize console hardware and getting the most out of its feature set, leading to a diminished experience for those of us who game on console. Also, we don't yet know if Xbox is doing us all a favor and finally leaving the console market and the PC day date strategy certainly hasn't panned out well for Microsoft's console strategy.

At any rate, not interested in arguing with the last remaining PC and Xbox diehards on this forum, lmao.

Console generations are a liability. It's worth supporting different PC hardware configurations because there is always a huge addressable audience that never resets to 0. The difficulty of supporting amd+Intel+Nvidia is also overblown. Developers code to standards and it's the hardware vendor's job to implement the standard accurately. This is barely even a question for the majority of developers using a 3rd party engine.

I'd respect your takes more if you were honest about just wanting pc to be the only platform available or at the very least prioritized above all others.

At any rate, Sony have already said multiple times that they approach live service differently than traditional single player games.

No further point in having this argument.

xbox pc day and date strat is fine. Game pass is not. No the ps5 version will still get the most out of its hardware. Dont worry about that. Expect day and date ps games on pc once xbox bounces. Either by the end of the gen. or start of next gen. They already bring their flagship titles to pc. Time to go day and date.
